Abstract
Rapid glucocorticoid clearance and abnormal glucocorticoid receptor binding have been described as factors that contribute to an inadequate response to treatment with glucocorticoids in patients with asthma. We report the coexistence of these abnormalities in children with severe asthma who respond poorly to systemic glucocorticoid therapy.
